The BasicsBang was a (very addicting) card game that sort of takes the idea of the original Mafia(no i don't mean the gamemode, although it is similar), and makes it much more interesting.
There's four teams - the
Sherrif, the
Deputies, the
Bandits, and the
Outlaw.
The 'good' team is the
Sherrif and the
Deputies. The
Sherrif's job is to kill all the bandits and the outlaw, and the
Deputies' jobs are to protect the
Sherrif. The
Sherrif is the only person known to all the other players, so this makes it kind of hard. The
Deputies aren't known, however(except to the
Sherrif), and can use this to their advantage/disadvantage.
The 'bad' team is comprised of the
Bandits, and the
Outlaw. The job of the
Bandits is to kill the
Sherrif and his
Deputies. Here's a twist though - the
Outlaw's job is to kill
everybody. Thankfully for whoever plays the
Outlaw, he's not known(neither are the
Bandits, unless you're the
Outlaw, in which case you can pick out exactly who you hired, which is kind of essential).
The WeaponsEach individual guy gets a random gun, with it's own advantages and disadvantages(ex, it could be a weak six-shot revolver, it could be a really strong one-shot rifle), and only a limited number of bullets(depending on gun). You can get bullet refills from picking it up off dead guys, or you could find a bullet box somewhere and use that(somewhat rare, one-time use). This tends to make things really interesting, since when you run out of bullets, you're fairly toast. The good thing is, you could either right-click with your weapon to melee someone with it(or you could just stick in something like action melee i suppose). The advantage for people like the
Sherrif and the
Outlaw is that they get twice the number of bullets that they normally would with their gun - they'd get twelve bullets for their six-shots, and a one-shot would get two bullets. This makes them have an edge in combat, which is really needed by them over their employees/goons.
Feel free to add ideas to this, I've only just started thinking through all of it.
